Anemia is the reduction of red blood cells and is usually the most common blood disorder. The role of erythrocytes is to transport oxygen from the lungs to the tissues and carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. This is achieved with the help of hemoglobin (Hb) tetrameric protein. Dr. Violeta Filipçe Dirjanska, head of the diagnostic laboratory department, says that anemia is not a disease but a condition that causes a large number of diseases. The fact that anemia or weakening of the blood is a consequence of the lack of iron in the body, should be an alarm indicating that the patient should take appropriate measures to take care of his health.
Iron deficiency anemia is very common in humans, especially in women during the reproductive period. Some data show that 1/5 and even 1/3 of healthy women during the reproductive period have a reduction in iron in the body, while 10% have anemia caused by iron deficiency. In general, anemia is twice as common in women. Every normal pregnancy, the mother gets 500mg of iron. In women in the Ethiopia Email List reproductive period, the most common cause of sideropenic anemia is the menstrual cycle with heavy bleeding, while in men and women in the postmenopausal period, the cause of sideropenic anemia is bleeding from the digestive system. The three stages of iron reduction The iron molecule is a component of hemoglobin (erythrocytes) and the reduced amount of iron presence causes the reduction of hemoglobin creation and the disorder of erythrocyte formation.
There are three degrees of iron reduction (sideropenia) in the body: The first stage is latent sideropenia in which iron reserves in the body are reduced (this is observed in the laboratory by reducing the value of ferritin), but there is still no reduction in serum iron, therefore there is no appearance of anemia The second stage is sideropenia in which iron stores and serum iron are reduced but again does not manifest with anemia The third stage has a drop in total hemoglobin, i.e. sideropenic anemia. What is the reason for iron reduction? The low amount of total iron in the body occurs during: chronic bleeding, insufficient intake of iron through food, especially in infants and children, during the disorder of absorption of iron from the digestive system and increased breakdown of erythrocytes (hemolysis) as consequence of other diseases. Iron from food is absorbed in the initial part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
